R Bs Pressure Cooker Beef Stew

Submitted by KitchenHacker

"A great tasting beef stew in minutes rather than hours. I wanted beef stew one night for dinner but didn't have time to do it in my slow cooker, so I modified the recipe for my pressure cooker and it was ready in 30 minutes and turned out better than in the slow cooker.."

Used XMas present first time, poor cut of beef bottom round. Clueless on performance of the gift. So thanks to wife and some intelligence, did less onions and followed ingredients to letter added 1/2 cup water afraid of broth concentrate we use, but let the pressure cooker tell me how long to cook. I know it's a cheap model said 35 minutes on timer for stews so that's what we set. To our surprise very tasty tender. We will continue to experiment but we were obviously lucky round one.

Followed recipe exactly. Burned and scorched. Obviously not enough liquid. Hopefully I can save my pressure cooker. This was my first pressure cooker attempt and may be my last.
